For their new look, I was inspired my THIS pin from my dining room pinterest board. I used homemade chalkpaint that I had on-hand, leftover dropcloth from my slipcovering projects and leftover gray paint from our basement remodel.

Voila.....

.....a whole new look!

I decided to make each chair seat a different "grain sack."

I used a foam brush, painter's tape and gray latex paint. I wasn't overly concerned

about perfection. In reality, these are dining room chairs....there

will be spillage, it's just a fact of my life!

Using materials that I had on-hand, the cost of this project was.....FREE!

Wow! can't believe they were the same chairs! You did a beautiful job. I keep hearing aobut people using drop cloths for uphostering, but I bought a drop cloth at the thrift store and it is really heavy & stiff. I'd like to use it for pillows and a couple other projects, but is is so stiff and heavy. Do drop cloths come in diferent weights? Do you know of any way to soften it up? Thanks.Cashel1916@yahoo.com

Most crafty Mom's send their children on the yellow bus and craft all day....well, mine go into the basement where we have created our own schoolroom and I try to craft in the midst of the craziness.....
God called our family into a great adventure called homeschooling, so decorating costs were not in our budget...that is until I discovered the treasures hiding at the Goodwill and a creative community of women who have turned "trash" into beauty!
Enjoy my attempt at making the world a prettier place all while spending very little money!
